Apply EA and you should be fine. I know someone with a lower ACT score and similar GPA who got in. I’m sure you are aware that like TN, GA is a lottery funded state. Don’t expect anything in the way of merit aid. Have you looked at Alabama? Unless it changes this year (and I believe it will change soon), UA offers the Presidential (full tuition) to anyone with a minimum ACT of 32 and a 3.5 gpa (they take the highest gpa off the transcript whether weighted or uw). You must apply by Dec 15 of your senior year. My TN son did not want to stay in-state (we lived in Knoxville and everyone went to UT) so this was a great option for him.
I believe so. I’ve never known anyone who met the qualifications for Presidential to be turned away. If you are interested in UA, head over to the UA section on CC and you will find all the information you need. Contact the Honors College to set up your tour. They do an excellent job.
Alright thank you. And as for UGA, if my probability of getting accepted in EA is “fine”, then would RD be even greater or is that more competitive? @FamilyofFive
I would go for EA. What is the downside? If you don’t get admitted EA then you are automatically shifted over to RD anyway. At least that is my understanding. Both of my kids were accepted EA along with several of their friends so I am not that familiar with the RD process as we never had to research it.
